Crysis 2 Patches Nanosuit, but It Simply Isn’t Enough

April 4, 2011 Written by Jonathan Leack

Just a few days ago, Crysis 2 received its first major patch, but what it contained has been unknown… until now. The notes have been released and it appears that many minor issues and bugs have been patched, but are they enough?

The full notelog for Crysis 2‘s v1.02 patch is available below:

A number of AI fixes and improvements (single-player campaign)

Improved anti-cheat protection

Fix for missing and corrupt sounds

Fix for music tracks repeating when they shouldn’t, and two different tracks occasionally playing at the same time

A range of networking improvements, including fixes to host migration

Fix for Capture the Relay where the CELL team would occasionally not be able to pick-up the relay in the second round

Addressed a bug with the “Show All” radar option when players would intermittently not be shown

Fix for the Deflection bonus staying permanently active if held by a player at the end of a round

Fix for menus scrolling continually if a direction is held on the left analog stick during load

Various Skill Assessment fixes so stats are tracked correctly

Leaderboard fixes for data occasionally being shown in the incorrect column

Fix for an issue with shadow rendering

Fix for crouch and zoom being on the same button in one of the alternate control schemes

Added additional announcer signposting when approaching the score limit in game modes

Fix for players of rank 50 being shown as rank 51 in-game

Improved ledge grab transition speed

Reduced lag when switching weapons

Fix for a Stealth Kill bug where, if performing a kill on a moving target, pressing the button would sometimes drag players along behind that opponent instead of performing the kill

Fix for explosions occasionally not rendering in the kill replay camera

Fix for an issue when trying to switch weapon during a slide, where players were sometimes left in a no-weapon

While the list of fixes is large, many members of the community are still concerned about framerate, campaign bugs, among other issues. Crytek has fallen onto the same treadmill as Treyarch, and will likely be battling post-launch issues for the next few months.
